This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how personal information is collected, used, and disclosed by Lecere and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies ("Lecere", "we," or "us") with respect to your use of the website located at www.lecere.com ("Site"). We reserve the right to change this Policy at any time. We will notify you when changes have been made to the Policy by indicating the date that it was last updated. We encourage you to review this Policy from time to time to make sure you understand how any personal information you provide will be used.

What Is Personal Information?

As used herein, the term "personal information" means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as a name, address, email address, or credit card number or other account number) or information about an individual that is directly linked to personally identifiable information. Personal information does not include "aggregate" information, which is data we collect about the use of the Site or about a group or category of services or users, from which individual identifiers or other personal information have been removed. This Policy in no way restricts or limits our collection and use of aggregate information.

What Personal Information Do We Collect?

Active Collection: Personal information may be collected in a number of ways when you visit our Site. We collect certain information you voluntarily provide to us, such as when you register for an account, purchase software and services, send us an email, provide or request information, or post content on the Site. Such information may include personal information, such as your name, user name, photo, mailing address, email address, credit card number, and other demographic information. Personal and demographic information may also be collected if you provide such information in connection with your profile page or while chatting, posting comments or other content, or otherwise participating in interactive forums or features on the Site.

Passive Collection: When you use the Site, some information is also automatically collected, such as your Internet Protocol ("IP") address, your operating system, the browser type, the address of a referring website, and your activity on the Site. We treat this information as personal information if we combine it with or link it to any of the identifying information mentioned above. Otherwise, it is used in the aggregate only.

We may also automatically collect certain information through the use of "cookies" or web beacons. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive at the request of a website. Among other things, cookies help us improve our Site and your experience. If we link cookies to any personally identifying information, we will treat this information as personal information. If you wish to block, erase, or be warned of cookies, please refer to your browser manufacturer to learn about these functions. However, if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services on our Site. Web beacons are small, invisible graphic images that may be used on the Site or in emails relating to the Site to collect certain information and monitor user activity on the Site.

We may also use third parties to serve ads on the Site. These third parties may place cookies, web beacons, or other devices on your computer to collect non-personal information, and information provided by these devices may be used, among other things, to analyze data, to determine the popularity of certain content, to deliver advertising targeted to your interests, and to better understand the usage and visitation of our Site and the other sites tracked by these third parties. This policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, cookies or web beacons in third party ads, and we encourage you to check the privacy policies of advertisers and/or ad services to learn about their use of cookies and other technology.

We may store and process personal information in the United States and other countries.

How Do We Use the Personal Information We Collect?

We use personal information collected through our Site for the purposes described in this Policy or elsewhere on the Site. For example, we may use personal information we collect:

What Personal Information Do We Share With Third Parties?

We will not share the personal information we collect from you through this Site with third parties, except as described in this Policy or on the Site. For example, we may share personal information as follows:

with vendors, consultants, and other service providers ("Service Providers") who are engaged by or working with us in connection with the operation of the Site or the services we provide and who need access to such information to carry out their work for us;
when you give us your consent to do so, including if we notify you on the Site that the information you provide will be shared in a particular manner and you provide such information;
when we believe in good faith that we are lawfully authorized or required to do so (i) to comply with laws or respond to lawful requests and legal process; (ii) to protect the rights and property of Lecere, our employees, copyright owners, or any third party, including to enforce our agreements, policies, and Terms of Use; or (iii) in an emergency to protect the personal safety of Lecere users, or any third party; and
in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing or acquisition, or in any other situation where personal information may be disclosed or transferred as one of Lecere's business assets.

You understand that when you use the Site, information you post on your profile page, on other users' profile pages, in discussion forums or chat sessions, or on any other interactive areas of the Site, as well as any information you share with individuals through the Site, will be available to other users and in some cases may be publicly available. We recommend you be cautious about sharing personal information in public or private online forums.

We are not responsible for the actions of Service Providers or other third parties, nor are we responsible for any additional information you provide directly to any third parties, and we encourage you to become familiar with their privacy practices before disclosing information directly to any such parties. Nothing herein restricts the sharing of aggregated or anonymized information, which may be shared with third parties without your consent.

Links to Other Websites

Our Site contains links to other websites. Any personal information you provide on a linked site is provided directly to that third party and is subject to that third party's privacy policy. This Policy does not apply to linked sites and we are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of those websites. We encourage you to learn about linked sites' privacy and security practices and policies before providing them with personal information.

What Steps Do We Take To Protect Your Information Online?

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information in an effort to prevent loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware, however, that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against interception or other types of misuse. To protect the confidentiality of personal information, you must not disclose your password to any other person. You are responsible for all uses of our website by any person using your password. If you believe your password has been misused, please notify us immediately by emailing support@lecere.com.

What Choices Do You Have Regarding the Use of Your Information?
